I have just finished a week at Barcelo Margaritas with my three-generation family, ranging in ages from 7 to 70, and it was a really positive experience.

The hotel was clean, with well-maintained grounds and pleasant plants and flowers. Our family room was spacious, and we were pleased to have been located directly next door to our relatives.

Even though the hotel was fairly busy, it didn’t feel overly crowded. There were enough areas to break away to and relax and find some peace when we wanted it. The animation team were brilliant and friendly and made a real effort to include my children in various activities, such as dancing, games and crafts. They particularly enjoyed the Halloween-themed activities, including trick-or-treating, which was a nice touch.

The all inclusive food was good. We especially loved sushi night and the Halloween-themed desserts. There was a great selection of fresh fruits and salads, and the variety of cooked dishes changed daily, keeping things interesting - definitely something for everyone. The drink selection was decent, with good wines, sparkling wine and a variety of cocktails included.

The hotel’s pools were nice and we were able to find sunbeds easily. Weather at the end of Oct/early Nov was mid to late 20s so really nice.  I made use of the gym and also joined pool yoga and aquafit classes.

The local area felt a bit touristy and wasn’t quite our vibe but if you need supermarkets or souvenir shops, these are plentiful and close by. We mostly stayed within the hotel and enjoyed the amenities there.

Overall, our stay at Barcelo Margaritas met our family’s needs well, with attentive staff and a range of activities suitable for everyone. I would recommend this hotel for families looking for a nice getaway.

Great all inclusive hotel suitable for the whole family 

Just back from a week at this hotel, great holiday for me and my partner. Weather was good throughout the week.

The hotel itself is of a very good standard. Spotlessly clean, lovely grounds and the pools are kept neat and tidy. Staff here work endlessly to enhance your experience of the hotel. 

We arrived late and were greeted with smiley faces on reception. Check in was quick and everything we needed to know explained in detail. We were also offered hot food if we went to the restaurant straight away or a cold buffet if we wanted to go later, we opted for the cold option so we could get settled.

Room was spotless upon arrival, as it was all week. Nice comfortable beds and pillows, decent shower and balcony overlooking the pool.  Couldn’t have asked for more. Cleaners were exceptional all week.

After the cold buffet, we visited the breeze bar where we found a selection of various drinks includedon the AI package, Cruzcampo on draught for those lager lovers and a self service option although it was a bit lively! Sussed it after a few days. As always, cocktails were stronger than you’d get back in the uk but no complaints. A lot of branded drinks were available also. Download the Barcelo app and the options are on there.

Sun-beds were available throughout the day although there was a usual rush at around 8am but nothing that doesn’t happen anywhere else you go. We got one easily everyday. Pool areas were cleaned daily, we sat at the family pool as the sun seemed to be on here most of the day. Bar up at this pool opens at 11am and the staff at both bars were superb.

We didn’t really get involved with the animation team as we just wanted to chill, but again, they worked endlessly to get as many people involved as possible, but with no pressure. Halloween was especially good!

The restaurant and food were always decent. There is an option for the most pickiest of eaters at all three servings ( I am that picky eater) and although it can get a bit repetitive, we just tried a different dish or came up with our own concoction. Drinks are of a good standard. There is also a snack bar in the day time which has burgers, chips, hotdogs, toasties, salads etc, buffet style in between breeze bar and restaurant.

We took a few walks around the area whilst we were there. As you’d expect, a little touristy but ok. Few rundown areas that need a bit of a revamp in my opinion but also some great little bars to have a few beers/food in. We ate out a few times just to try the local cuisine and it did not disappoint. The pedestrian crossings are a gamble though, cars seem to stop when they want so just be aware.

Beach is a good 20/30 minute walk away, it looked lovely although we didn’t go down to it, was quite busy in parts but more than enough room for all that were there.

So overall, no complaints from us, if I had to be really picky, maybe the corridors that lead to the rooms could do with a spruce up to bring them in line with the rest of the hotel, but again that is just being really picky.

Would recommend this hotel again and again, and if the local area were given some investment to improve, I really think this area could cater for all.

Finally, a massive thank you to the management who arranged a bottle of bubbly and two slices of cake for my partner for her birthday whilst we were there. A little touch that went a long way! 

Keep up the good work and we’ll hopefully see you soon!

Great Holiday

We stayed for 8 days and would rate the experience as very average. Receptionists not friendly and knowledgable, rooms old and with many damages, no kids program in evenings which was a pity. Pools cool and people did not want to go there - kids swam twice.

Average on all levels…

This beach hotel is situated in the tourist centre, around 1.5 km from the local sandy beach, Playa del Inglés. Gran Canaria Airport is approximately 30 minutes by car. Within walking distance, guests will find a great shopping centre with entertainment opportunities. The nearest public transport stop is in the near vicinity. There is also a big range of bars, pubs and restaurants in the near surroundings. This holiday hotel complex, housed in a 9-storey main building and an 8-storey annexed block offering modern rooms, fully equipped to ensure a pleasant stay with maximum comfort. This is a great place to spend a few days with the family as it counts with two children's pools and an entertainment programme for adults and children.
